At Sanlando Springs Animal Hospital, we focus on the highest quality of veterinary care for our patients. We offer Wellness Plans and state-of-the-art medical technology that includes ultrasound, surgical CO2 laser, and therapeutic laser. We have the opportunity to diagnose and successfully treat some very challenging cases.   Students will work closely with the supervising DVMs to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creation of treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing their clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.     Most externship experiences range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. Externships at Sanlando Springs Animal Hospital are offered to veterinary students in their final clinical year.
Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend. Click HERE to view list of stipend amounts and HERE for details on the stipend program.
